1Palveteekonna laul. Ma tõstan oma silmad sinu poole, kes istud taevas.
1To you I do lift up my eyes, you who sit in the heavens.
2Vaata, otsekui sulaste silmad vaatavad oma isandate käte peale, otsekui teenija silmad vaatavad oma emanda käte peale, nõnda vaatavad meie silmad Issanda, meie Jumala peale, kuni tema meile armu annab.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.
3Anna meile armu, Issand! Anna meile armu, sest meil on enam kui küllalt põlgusest!
3Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
4Meie hing on küllalt saanud tunda jultunute irvitust ja uhkete põlgust.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
